A New Form of Bioactive Glass with Improved Bone Healing

The bone graft putty is based on an innovative form of 45S5 bioactive glass.  The Putty utilizes Idea unique spherical bioactive glass particles with a optimized, bimodal size range. The combination of the BioSphere particles and a resorbable, phospholipid carrier results in a bioactive Putty with the highest bioactive glass content on the market, excellent handling, and improved bone healing.

Glass Content

The Putty has the highest bioactive glass content of any putty or sheet on the market

The use of a highly moldable phospolipid carrier results in a cohesive bone graft putty with superior handling that does not fall apart.

Bone Healing

The spherical particles in Biomold have improved the bone healing properties of bioactive glass.

Features & Benefits

Bone graft composed of bioactive glass

  • Bioglass forms a bone-like mineral layer on its surface that promotes bone formation and attachment [1]
  • Bioglass dissolution ions stimulate cells involved in bone healing [2]

Spherical particles provide uniform resorption and ion release

  • 3-D sphere packing provides an optimal porosity for bone formation throughout implant site

Bimodal size particle range

  • Small spheres  provide fast resorbing particles that starts the bone healing process with a quick release of dissolution ions.
  • Large spheres  provide slower resorbing particles that provides a scaffold for bone formation and longer term ion release

Resorbable phospholipid carrier

  • Allows Biomold Putty to have a high bioactive glass particle content Creates a moldable putty with excellent handling and cohesiveness Naturally occurring phospholipids are absorbed by the body and used by local cells

Highest bioactive glass content on

  • Provides complete filling of a bone defect with bioactive glass particles
  • Results in better particle contact with the edges of the bone defect which promotes faster healing
  • Minimizes particle settling after carrier resorption

Excellent handling, resistance to irrigation, and graft placement

  • Putty can be easily customized to fit the surgical site Does not wash away with exposure to blood or irrigation fluid Designed to be mixed with particulate autograft

Applications:

Surgical

Intended Use Statement (CE):  Biomold Putty is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure.

Biomold Putty is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system as a bone void filler in the extremities and pelvis, and as a bone graft extender in the posterolateral spine.  These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone.

The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.

Trauma

Biomold Putty can be used as bone graft
replacement in the long bones and pelvis.  

The moldable consistency of the Putty allows
it to be custom fit to the implant site.  Once the defect is completely filled, the putty matches the bone void geometry.

Due to its firmness, the Putty can either be manually implanted, or inserted with forceps or other surgical instruments.

Spine

When mixed with autograft, Biomold Putty can be used as a bone graft extender in the posterolateral spine.

The Putty is specially designed to maintain its handling following mixing with autograft.

Following hardware placement, it can be isnerted with forceps and placed at the implant site.

Biomold Putty can be shaped to conform to the bony anatomy and provides a custom fit around stabilization hardware.
